Fairview is proud to be a GOLD accredited provision.
A Rights Respecting School (RRS) is a school community that embeds the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) at the core of its ethos, policies, and daily practice. Accredited by UNICEF, these schools foster an environment where children’s rights are taught, practiced, respected, and promoted, empowering students to feel confident, valued, and informed.

Key aspects of a Rights Respecting School include:
-
- Embedding Rights: Children’s rights are at the heart of school life, from classrooms to leadership, promoting equality, dignity, and respect.
- Empowering Students: Students are encouraged to use their voices, engage in decision-making, and become active, responsible citizens.
- Improved Culture:
These schools often see enhanced well-being, stronger relationships, and a more positive, inclusive atmosphere.
- Three Key Strands: Schools work toward accreditation by focusing on three main areas: teaching and learning about rights, fostering a rights-respecting ethos, and empowering children to become active citizens.
- Action-Oriented: The approach encourages students to advocate for social justice, fairness, and rights both within their school and in the wider world.
